In the United States, 1,200 community colleges enroll over ten million students each year—nearly half of the nation’s undergraduates. Yet fewer than 40 percent of entrants complete an undergraduate degree within six years. This fact has put pressure on community colleges to improve academic outcomes for their students. Redesigning America’s Community Colleges is a concise, evidence-based guide for educational leaders whose institutions typically receive short shrift in academic and policy discussions. It makes a compelling case that two-year colleges can substantially increase their rates of student success, if they are willing to rethink the ways in which they organize programs of study, support services, and instruction. Community colleges were originally designed to expand college enrollments at low cost, not to maximize completion of high-quality programs of study. The result was a cafeteria-style model in which students pick courses from a bewildering array of choices, with little guidance. The authors urge administrators and faculty to reject this traditional model in favor of “guided pathways”—clearer, more educationally coherent programs of study that simplify students’ choices without limiting their options and that enable them to complete credentials and advance to further education and the labor market more quickly and at less cost. Distilling a wealth of data amassed from the Community College Research Center (Teachers College, Columbia University), Redesigning America’s Community Colleges offers a fundamental redesign of the way two-year colleges operate, stressing the integration of services and instruction into more clearly structured programs of study that support every student’s goals.

This E.D. TAB presents findings from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) Winter 2004-05 data collection, which included two required survey components: Employees by Assigned Position (EAP) for fall 2004 and Salaries (SA) for academic year 2004-05; the Fall Staff (S) component was optional for fall 2004. These data were collected through the IPEDS web-based data collection system. Tabulations in this report present selected data items collected from, or imputed for, the 6,374 Title IV institutions in the United States that are eligible for at least one component of the Winter 2004-05 data collection. Data for the 165 institutions located in other jurisdictions, such as Puerto Rico, are not included in the tabulations in this report. Institutions provided data about faculty and staff employed at Title IV participating institutions in the United States as well as salaries and fringe benefits of those full-time instructional faculty at Title IV degree-granting institutions in the United States. Degree-granting institutions are those offering associate's, bachelor's, master's, doctor's, and first-professional degrees. The information presented about salaries and fringe benefits have been adjusted. Total salary outlays for full-time faculty (by rank) on 11/12-month contracts were adjusted to 9/10-month outlays by multiplying the outlay for 11/12-month contracted faculty by 0.8182. The "equated" outlays were then added to the outlays for 9/10-month faculty to determine an average salary for each rank. Salaries for faculty on less than-9-month contracts are not included. Appended are: (1) Survey Methodology; and (2) Glossary of IPED Terms. [This report was produced with assistance from RTI International.] (Contains 9 tables.).

This "First Look" presents findings from the Human Resources (HR) Component of the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) winter 2009-10 data collection. The HR component consists of the following three sections: Employees by Assigned Position (EAP) and Fall Staff (S) for fall 2009 and Salaries (SA) for academic year 2009-10. All three sections of the HR component were required for the winter 2009-10 collection. The HR data were collected through the IPEDS web-based data collection system. The purpose of this report is to introduce new data through the presentation of tables containing descriptive information. As a result only selected findings are presented. These findings have been chosen to demonstrate the range of information available when using the IPEDS data rather than to discuss all of the observed differences, and they are not meant to emphasize any particular issue. Appendices include: (1) Survey Methodology; and (2) Glossary of IPEDS Terms. (Contains 16 tables and 11 footnotes.)[To access the Fall 2008 report, see ED507174.].

The Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) is designed to collect data from postsecondary institutions in the United States (50 states and the District of Columbia) and other jurisdictions, such as Puerto Rico. For IPEDS, a postsecondary institution is defined as an organization open to the public that has as its primary mission the provision of postsecondary education. IPEDS defines postsecondary education as formal instructional programs with a curriculum designed primarily for students who are beyond the compulsory age for high school. This includes academic, vocational, and continuing professional education programs and excludes institutions that offer only avocational (leisure) and adult basic education programs. Participation in IPEDS was a requirement for the 6,568 institutions that participated in Title IV federal student financial aid programs such as Pell Grants or Stafford Loans during the 2003-04 academic year. Title IV schools include traditional colleges and universities, 2- year institutions, and for-profit degree- and non-degree-granting institutions (such as schools of cosmetology), among others. In addition, the four U.S. Service Academies are included in the IPEDS universe as if they were Title IV institutions. Tabulations in this report present selected data collected during the winter 2003-04 IPEDS collection about faculty and staff employed at Title IV degree- granting institutions 4 in the United States. Degree granting institutions are those offering associate's, bachelor's, master's, doctor's, and first-professional degrees.
